Sinister: re: PBS taping

[leslie.chinea at xxx.com]

     When they asked for requests the guy sitting next to me whispered 
     "Freebird" thank god he didn't have the guts to shout it out loud.
     
     The host's intro seemed shy and meek to me and that kinda fit with the 
     whole atmosphere.
     
     I agree the wait was grueling, but it made me appreciate the 
     experience that much more.
     
     Leslie.

I had the recent fortune of being able to attend the perhaps now fabled 
Sessions on 54th taping of Belle and Sebastian.
     
While the wait outside was gruelling--especially while watching VIP/press 
and industry people walk right in without having to wait as long, the show 
was very well worth it.
     
I wish the band had played more songs off IYFS or the 2 current eps, but 
still, being witness to a slew of new songs certainly made the event 
interesting.  Part of the excitement was also seeing the notoriously 
camera-shy band in person--quite a good-looking band, eh?--as well as having 
the back of my head gloriously presented before the cameras as they craned 
and dollied here and there 'round them.
     
Isobel sang the first song, "Is It Wicked Not To Care". This was followed 
by "Like Dylan In the Movies", "Ease Your Feet In the Sea", "Century of 
Elvis", "Slow Graffitti", a flubbed and playful "Mayfly" (Stuart had to 
read the lyrics of a copy of the album that an audeince member donated), a 
slow (lazy?) "Lazy Line-Painter Jane", "Seymour Stein" (which I believe 
Stevie sang), "Sleep the Clock Around", the epic "Roller COaster Ride".
     
It was beautiful.  They were playful even tho nervous.  I wish I saw them 
Saturday or Sunday, you lucky lucky people.
     
When they asked for a cover, I'm glad no one yelled out Freebird; someone 
should have yelled out "Jennifer Juniper".  I should have yelled out 
"Jennifer Juniper".
     
Did anyone else think the host's intro kinda cheesy, or not genuine?
